Glentoran's last win against Ronnie McFall's side was last year's Irish Cup semi-final game at the Oval; Marcus Kane getting a late winner.

EUSEBIO
He was, without doubt, the greatest ever player to grace the Oval pitch in a competitive game.
Eusebio da Silva Ferreira was the focal point of the superb Benfica team from the 1960's and the main reason that 40,000 people packed the Oval on Wednesday 13th September 1967. John Colrain's Glentoran side had just returned from their highly successful North American tour and the squad were at their peak.
